Mr.. James V. DignOwity is in New

tsists there in Texas industries, and
thus far the work has been yery en-

results springing from it. The time is
peculiarly OppOrtune for such action. in

Florida, investing large sums of capital
This has not PANIED out as satisfactorily
as expected, and wise capitalists are
quietly selling out and looking for other
means OF investment. Their ewes are
upon Texas and her rich resources. and
With proper inducements, there is little
question that ere long Texas can readily
obtain all the capital that Is needed for
the development of her immense natural

How to select a Wife.

Good health, good morals, good sense, and
good temper, are the four essentials for good
wife. These are the indisDcnsables. After
them come the minor advantages of good
looks, accomplishments, family position, etc.
With the first four, married life will be COM
Portable and happy. Lacking either, II will be
in more or less degree a failure. Upon good
health depends largely good temper aud good
looks, and to some extent good sense also, as
the best mind must be affected more or less
by the weaknesses and whims attendant on
frail health. Young man. if your wife is fall

A Call For Bonds-Delay in Enforcing
An Act.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The acting
secretary of the treasury this afternoon is
sued the 14Sth call for the redemption of
bonds. The call is for $lOOOO,OOO of the 8
per cent. loan of 1882, and notice is given
that the principal and accrued interest of
the bonds designated will be paid at the
treasury of the United States, in Washing
ton, May 1, 1887, and that the interest on
said bonds will cease on that date.
The act to amend the act to prohibit the
importation and immigration of foreigners
and aliens under contract or agreement to
perform labor in the United States. which
was approved February 23d, should, ac-
cOrding to It's provisions, have gone into ef-
feet to-day. The acting secretary of the
treasury, who is charged with the execu-
tlon of this act, has not yet had an Oppor-
tunity to prepare the regulations essential
to its proper enforcement. They are now,
however, in course of preparation, and will
be issued in few days. 1t is said at the
department that the delay is caused by the

The Presidents Health.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Colonel La

fears recently expressed by DR.. Somers are
not shared by the presidents family and
his intimate friends. The president, Col
onel Lamont said, to all appearances, is in
perfect health. He did not think DR..
Somers was in position to Judge of the
health of the president, as he did not know
him, and what he said was, in the colonel's
opinion. based merely on the assumption
that the president was gaining flesh and
took no exercise. This was not the case.
"As a matter OF fact" he continued, .the
president weighs less than when he first
came to Washington and really takes as
much exercise as most other men 1t is
true he does not walk about the city, but
he frequently walks in the country, and
there are other ways which he gets exer-
else. Altogether, the president is in good
condition, and there is no reason for appre-
hending serious danger to his health

employed by the latter company are now
going over the route of the American
Union lines, now part of the Western
Union, between New York and Boston,
cutting two Of these wires in every place
where they have been run into Western
Union Offices. The French Cable company
has opened test offices along the route and
will, it is said, soon arrange to compete
with the Western Union for the local cable
business. Representatives of the Western
Union are watching the French company's
men and at every place where the wires are
cut enter a protest, but do not interfere.
The matter will evidently be litigated. The
trouble between the companies grew out
of the French company's withdrawal from
the cable pool. The French Cable COM

its Cape Cod Office and is now taking fOrci-
